earth-reverse-engineering VS extract-xiso

I see, that's useful information. Perhaps import lower resolution versions of the google earth model and textures instead? The model is already in multiple LODs. I used this one a few years ago: https://github.com/retroplasma/earth-reverse-engineering though I now see there's https://github.com/eliemichel/MapsModelsImporter

i've used retroplasma's exporter to get city sections into blender (fairly low resolution but probably good enough for a 3d print) and from there you could probably use a plugin to convert that to an STL.

I've seen a few people talk about this before, but the past hour of research has led me to believe it's actually possible: A driving simulator that uses satellite data let you take on real roads. Google Maps has been largely reverse engineered (Demo, Code) - the data just needs to be processed (barring some bugs, things under trees or bridges). I wouldn't try to keep the photorealism, there's simply not enough data, so some sort of cartoony simplifcation like Infinitown would be awesome. The idea sounds absolutely naive but I'm sure a strong team could do it.

Using the tool: extract-xiso

Download Extract-Xiso , the download option will be on the right side of the screen under “stable release” and extract it somewhere (same folder as your Xbox roms is recommended).

You can download it from the megathread and use extract-xiso to convertit (extract-xiso -r game.iso).

I use extract-xiso: https://github.com/XboxDev/extract-xiso

"Mod only" requires you to hexedit your games. This page has a list of hex codes to search for and then the string that you'll replace them with. To perform this, you'll need to extract the iso into a game folder, and then you'll edit the default.xbe file in the root folder. I used extract-xiso and extract-xiso-gui to do this. Drag and drop your iso onto the extract-xiso exe. One you've done your hexedits (I recommend HxD), then you can use the gui to click "create iso" and then select a folder. You can actually do all of this with just extract-xiso, but I was lazy and didn't feel like punching in dos commands to rebuild all my isos.
